Lots of Goodies

Of course if you are already a fan...then I don't need to tell you this...but if you haven't seen it yet... have you been living under a rock??? Game of Thrones has started up again.. TV heaven is here

Game of Thrones



And here is the trailer for Season 3... 


Speaking of television heaven... Spartacus finally ended with its third and final season

Spartacus

War of the Damned



What a brilliant series this was and I have to say I am sad to see it end


But there are a couple of new series that have started... and since we have been so intense..let start with something light

How to live with your Parents



Its a silly comedy... but given all the intense stuff out there.. its nice to have no brainers to cleanse the palate from time to time


If you enjoy girlie tv... and you enjoyed Sex in the City.. here is a show for you

The Carrie Diaries


This is a show that will take back to 1984... to seeing how Carrie Bradshaw became Carrie!


Now if all of the above are not doing it for you because documentaries are more your style.. found a  great documentary about Egypt

Ancient Egypt: Life and Death in the Valley of the Kings



Dr Joann Fletcher does a great job of taking us into the everyday lives of Ancient Egypt. I couldn't find a trailer but I did find the first episode..I'm sure you can find the second 



I am going to mention this show again because I don't see it getting the attention it really should

Scandal



Fantastic writing... the initial dialogues of the first episode may have been a bit cheesy but this show has really grown into its own


If you enjoy Scifi... here is a show that is a fun watch.. based on the premise that we lost all power, electricity, internet... everything gone... then what?

Revolution


This new show started late last year and has picked up again this year in March


Something else that started up this year... if you enjoyed Silence of the Lambs.. take a look at 

Hannibal


its just as creepy... and definitely worth a watch.. be warned.. viewer discretion is advised


And an interesting new British drama has started which has started off well

Orphan Black



very interesting premise... I'm following up on it... 


And last for the television update .. but NOT the least.. am loving it from the onset

DeVinci's Demons


Want to know about the secret history of Leonardo Da Vinci? This is the show to watch


I am hooked already !!

And now for all Downton Abbey fans.. those of you who will miss "Mathew" Dan Stevens from the series.. well this June  you can see what he has been up to... looks very interesting..

Summer in February



and of course the trailer ....comes out June 14 2013


Well that is quite a bit for you all this time.. hope you enjoyed this blog.. if you do .. please share with others :) and feel free to leave a comment or write to me at ayeshahalam@yahoo.com

A Movie Finally and more TV Stuff

Now I personally love documentaries... specially those that are well done. The History Channel has really outdone itself with its new series. Its not done as a documentary but its steeped in historical facts yet entertaining at the same time

Vikings



This has been really well done and certainly well worth your time 



Finally managed to watch a film this week. And after a long time.. really enjoyed it

Perks of Being a Wallflower



It is the most delightful film..... you will need a Kleenex box handy though..you have been warned



Another show that I probably have not mentioned enough here is one of my favourite shows

The Good Wife



Script is great.. one falls in love with the characters... love love love it. Putting up a different trailer for you this time... hope you get tempted enough to watch it for yourself



speaking of fun shows here is another one that is in its second season and totally addictive

Revenge



Just when you think the story is finally wrapping up... a new twist is thrown in keeping you hooked



And from my list of favs.. another one gets on my list... 

the Mindy project



Yes Mindy Kaling's voice (the STAR) of the show, is annoying. Sometimes very annoying. But its a funny light show.. and I try not to miss any of the episodes...




Now before I leave you to go rushing off to catch up on all these wonderful shows and of course the film if you haven't caught it already.. just want to remind  you to please leave a comment or you can write to me at ayeshahalam@yahoo.com
